What is a Post Vasectomy Test?

For a while after having a vasectomy a man can still produce semen containing potentially fertile sperm. This test is to confirm that the vasectomy has been successful. It should be performed no sooner than 16 weeks after the vasectomy. Repeat test recommended at 20 weeks.

Post Vasectomy Semen Analysis – What to do?

We advise that you regularly ejaculate after the operation, at least 24 times (using contraception) to help remove any residual sperm from your system.

In order to obtain an optimum sample the patient is required to abstain from any sexual activity (masturbation or intercourse) for two to three days, but no longer than seven days prior to producing the sample for the appointment.
